E3 2016: Scalebound Coming to PC

Platinum’s ambitious action game Scalebound will be now be released on PC as part of the Xbox Play Anywhere scheme. The news came during Microsoft’s E3 2016 press conference.

During a gameplay demo that showed off Platinum Games' "biggest ever boss fight", it was revealed that the game would be both cross-buy and cross-play across Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs.

Back in 2015, Phil Spencer told PC Gamer that Scalebound would not be making the move from Xbox One. "Going to those teams mid-cycle and saying: ‘Hey, by the way, I want to add a platform,’ didn’t really feel like necessarily the best way to end up with the best result for the game," he explained.

Over the past few years, Platinum has released the incredible Bayonetta 2 for the Wii U. On the flip-side, the Japanese developer has also released a trio of licensed games in The Legend of Korra, Transformers, and TMNT, which didn’t quite live up to the pedigree of Bayonetta.
